Can you list the top facts and stats about Southernmost settlements?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Southernmost settlements are cities, towns, weather stations or permanent military bases which are farther south than latitude 45°S. They are closely related to the Southern Ocean or either the Roaring Forties or Furious Fifties. Antarctic bases are excluded due to not having a permanent population.
Unlike the northern hemisphere, where a large number of major cities including London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Vienna, Prague and Budapest are all located north of the 45°N parallel, the only permanently populated areas south of the 45°S parallel are the small and sparsely populated regions of southern Patagonia in South America, the Falkland Islands, and the southernmost tip of New Zealand.
